In A Very Vermont Christmas, Katie Leclerc stars as Joy, a champion skier who helps her mother run the family’s pub in a small town. Still mourning the loss of her father, Joy is also trying to keep the family business going. The situation is made even worse when she finds out her ex-boyfriend (played by John Forest) is opening a new pub in town.
That’s when she collides on the slopes with novice skier Zac (played by McPartlin), who is a brewmaster as well as a distributor for a beer company. She offers to give him ski lessons. In return, he creates a new brew, Hoppy Holiday IPA, for her pub.
The new beer is a hit and business begins picking up. But when her ex introduces a beer at his pub that tastes nearly identical to Hoppy Holiday, Joy begins to mistrust Zac.
